Just wanted to start a thread for UK owners of Mate 10 pro (normal mate 10 not available here), to see if the firmware updates are coming to certain carriers first.
Myself Im on O2 network and am still on original 115 firmware. What network and firmware is everyone else on?
Thread here mate, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/bla-l09-8-0-0-124-c782-uk-t3728420
On version 124. Bought unlocked from cpw. Update arrived just over 2 weeks ago. Network is three.
O2 doesn't sell the Mate 10 so any updates will come directly from Huawei

Seems like quite a few people on three network from CPW had the update, so was curious if the networks have a say.

They have but Huawei like other companies releases the updates in batches, I only had it the other day
I bought mine from CPW unlocked using it will Vodafone still no update but I have a three sim I will try and see if it works later. My Mate 9 is on December security patch and I am sure it will get January security patch soon too. But disappointing the mate 10 Pro isn't getting updates sooner. Huawei should be pushing the updates quicker or letting users who check manually trigger the update process every month as only the Techies will be doing that.

Did you buy it unlocked from three or tied to three network?

Bought mine from three ,didn't put the three sim in straight away and set phone up, 124 update came straight through the first time of checking.
Inserted the three sim which then installed all the bloat (wuntu, three likes)

Mate 10 pro was bought outright from CPW... no monthly contract....so should have been sim-free....
Just took my (three) sim out of my s8+ and plonked it into the mate 10 pro.
I got mine with three. Still on 115 3 weeks later no update

It's the IMEI lucky lottery tombola randomizer !!!!... It could be you next !!! (or next week.... or the week after...)
Bugs the life out of me why manufacturers do this.. .just roll it out to the phones when it's available... especially when there are a couple of bugs that are getting fixed with the update...

Completely agree, makes me wonder if it would be better to sell and get a Pixel 2 XL. At least the updates would be regular. Huawei need to up their game in this respect.
It annoys me that I'm running the October security patch and we are now into January with no sign of an update.

I too did look at the Pixel XL 2 (own the original pixel XL 128GB) but I can't get away from the single overwhelming fault of the pixel XL 2..... it is so utterly ugly.
I've played with it in the CPW shops (and all the screens have burn-in) and it looks awful.... I know, looks aren't everything, but google are asking flagship money for this !!!
The main positives I can see for the XL 2 is the camera gets great reviews, and the good software experience....but I am seriously impressed with the camera on the mate 10 pro [if only it would default to HDR being on !!!!] and that is comparing it to the likes of the S8+ and the pixel XL... and the software is pretty darn slick too...
Google seems to make great but flawed phones..

Agree with most of that. Due to work my phones go straight into a case, so looks are not so important to me.
Camera on both devices are very good, but pixel edges it I think due to night time shots.
Battery on Mate 10 pro will be better I think, which is the main reason I have stuck with the phone.
Just a few annoying glitches like the scrolling Widgets not working, if they could fix these problems and provide regular updates, it would be a great phone.

Yes this is beyond frustrating because my mate 9 is already on December security patch while my mate 10 Pro is on October and it's the New flagship. I am seriously considering getting the Pixel 2 XL as it's only £69 more now at CPW, but considering the hardware isn't really up to scratch that's what is putting me off. And I love the mate 10 Pro size fits in one hand

Finally on 124, OTA was pushed this morning. Bought the phone from CPW when it came out in mid November. I'm on 3 network.

Just picked up my mate 10 pro upgrade from Vodafone this morning. Came with a free Huawei Watch 2 which was a result
When you first power it up it detects an operator ota update which downloads apps but importantly it also enables WiFi calling.
My previous device was a mate 9 6gb version and this already feels more premium.

This confirms what I knew that Volte only works with carrier branded ROMS.
didn't realise Vodafone were selling the M10Pro. That could have only come up recently as it was only CPW and Three that were stocking them.
It was shown as coming soon on Vodafone for the last couple of weeks. They never mentioned it on social media tho and the first 1000 customers get a free Huawei watch 2 which is a bonus

Awesome. Hows the screen? Do you miss it not being 2k?
I've had so many phones including pixel, s8 plus, iPhone 8 plus, oneplus 5 etc.. this is the best screen and phone I've owned by a long shot. Everything seems to just work and battery is really good, camera awesome and no screen issues at all. Don't miss 2k at all, screens too small to notice the difference to me

Ooh exciting. I wonder if it's the same for all UK carriers. Can you show a screenshot to enable it?
There’s no real screen shot. When the phone detects the sim, it provisions it and install or adds (not sure exactly what’s going on) the respective software needed to automatically do what’s needed. Under networks this is what I see
Also top left status bar normally shows “3 WiFi Calling”
This is the single sim version from Carphone Warehouse. I have the dual sim version coming from Amazon Germany later this week.
As the Mate 10 Pro (dual sim) is Dual VoLTE(4G calling) capable, then it would be really nice to see this tested in UK. Every provider in UK who has VoLTE support for P10, should be good with Mate 10 Pro also.
What's interesting is that the WiFi calling shortcut can't be found on the Vodafone update. It appears as a to-do option and once you've enabled it the option vanishes completely. As you can see tho it still works
I got mine from Carphonewarehouse (sim unlocked) but once I put the Three sim inside it downloaded a tonne of Three apps and even branded itself to them

How you getting on with the phone? I'm tempted to buy one!
edit: I've just pulled the trigger. Returned my Pixel 2 XL due to several issues.
Got the mate 10 Pro from Vodafone, with the smart watch, 32gb data and unlimited minutes and texts for £45 a month!!

What's your screen like. It's a great screen. But mine has a bit of an uneven green tint. A bit annoying. Tempted to try another
Just checking to see if anyone has had a sniff of an update for the UK version (BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 C782) of the mate 10 pro. Bought mine unlocked from Carphone Warehouse, and see a few threads for the dual sim variant, but not one jot about any updates to the UK release (and I haven't had a single OTA update yet)... So, shout out if you have an update, or know if one is imminent...
No update yet, but I did contact Huawei UK and they state they are currently rolling out a 8.0.0.124 update for my IMEI. Being done in batches at the moment.

Anyone know if Huawei are any good with updates, will we get Android 8.1 or is that just wishful thinking?
They used to be very bad but now with project treble it's actually quite fast with the security patch and stuff, I have the January security patch on my Mediapad M3, Mate 9 and 10 as well as android 8 on both of my mates

You all should rebrand. I bought this mate 10 original (C636) said international..
I got two updates in less than a month of purchasing the phone. Huawei is faster than HTC 10 unlocked and way faster than Sony and Samsung ever was for me.
Ps. there's a thread for updates already, you know where..

No one really should have to do that, Huawei stated back end of last year that they will be pushing updates faster which is really not true. I am still on November security patch in the UK also. I bought Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro only because I don't want to worry about battery When I leave home and it does give me insane battery life. However with the rise of security breaches, malware, adware and more having a secure phone is now becoming a priority than having long battery and as such I will be only using Google phones going forward.

We will. Though I believe it will come a while after mate 20 launch since they will want to promote new features. They would hurt themselves by showing customers "hey, we just released a big update for our old , now cheaper phone which brings newest os and tons of new features".

I believe L29 models will get updates fast. I'm in the U.S. and have both L09 (mine) and L29 (mom's) models and the L29 has been receiving updates periodically while the L09 just received 8.0.0.123. The L29 now has Face ID unlock and the L09, according to the Huawei rep, has no plan for that feature for the U.S. version in the meantime. Lesson learned. Buy the international version.
I've received updates regularly on my N950F(xxU3CRF4 - 2 a month for the last few months and it seems Samsung has finally got their act together. Maybe because of the need to mitigate vulnerabilities and security issues. Today received VO LTE and the lockscreen movies update. Wish they would make their update notes a bit more meaningful though and explain what it includes than the generic "stability improvements".
Samsung gets a bad rap sometimes for updates but well done Sammy.
Well, not all the countries receive so many updates, I think that it is carrier and country dependant in most cases, in my country 2 carriers have received only 4 updates since Aug 2017, other carriers only 3

I guess the 7T Pro is sort of "meh", incremental as it is, and is probably bought by people who didn't buy the 7 Pro. What remains to be seen, is how many ROMs, tweaks and apps developed for the 7 Pro that will also work on the 7T Pro.
